Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

Many students agree that having a car definitely has a lot of positives: it’s easy to get home during breaks, easy to travel into Waltham and to go shopping, and very easy to get to the Riverside stop on the MBTA Green Line, which is much easier than taking the commuter rail. However, the biggest negative is that there is never enough parking around campus. Commuters must share any good spaces with teachers and face getting a $25 ticket if they are parking outside of their assigned lot. The whole campus is in need of a serious paving.

If you live off campus, you absolutely need a car. If you don’t, then there is no real reason for one beyond getting around on weekends or having an off-campus job. Most parking lots are not close to anything convenient, and parking is made even more difficult by the fact that a permit restricts you to one lot, which is probably not near your dorm. Overall, parking on campus could improve. There aren't enough spaces during the day or convenient parking lots.

No Options for Freshman and Sophomores

Sophomores and Freshman are not allowed to have cars on campus. The entire campus is no more than a mile to a mile and a half from one end to the other, but you really need a car if you ever plan to leave and go into Waltham or Boston without only going on Thursday nights or the weekends after 3:30 pm. Most people end up parking illegally and moving their car every few days.

Okay Parking

The parking is far away usually if you are able to have a car on campus, and the campus police are very serious about tickets almost to the extent of annoying. They are unfair regarding speeding. Parking is far, so get to campus early to get a spot and get to your class on time.

High Fines!!

You dont need a car on campus, but if you have one and park in the wrong spot, you will get fined heavily. Also, if you have a car on campus and are an underclassmen, the places you are allowed to park are really far from campus. It's inconvenient.
